'Who said punk was dead? Poet and singer Patti Smith brought anarchy to a smart London gallery when a gig she was playing spiralled out of control. Originally intended for 300, more than 1,500 people turned up, causing something of a crush. As fans poured into the Alison Jacques Gallery some began to panic, with at least one girl fainting. To avoid causing death, Patti moved into the street to sing. "There were only supposed to be 300," she said. "You all spawned like tadpoles." We love you, Patti.'

'Singer Patti Smith caused traffic chaos as she led an impromptu singalong in the street with hundreds of people.

The 62-year-old poet, musician and punk star was due to perform at the opening of an exhibition of the late American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe's A Season In Hell collection at the Alison Jacques gallery in central London on Tuesday night.

But so many people came to see her at the gallery in Berners Street that she was unable to get inside, so blocked traffic as she encouraged the crowd to sing Because the Night with her from the doorway.'
